According to her own channel description, she is a player of cute and innocent and family-friendly games, including Scribblenauts Unmasked and Pokémon X, though occasionally plays horror-themed games as well. A major player in Rythian's Minecraft series Blackrock Chronicle, where she becomes the wizard Rythian's apprentice.

She's very supportive of LGBT rights, being a lesbian herself, and has made a point of supporting fans with depression and anxiety.

Her YouTube Channel can be found here. Fair warning, her upload schedule is very erratic. However, she does livestream a fair amount on her Twitch channel, which can be found here.

Zoey Proasheck provides examples of:

Action Girl: Zoey's a competent player after Rythian teaches her in the mystic arts. She's also a competent gamer in general.

Adorkable: Her Tekkit persona comes off this way a bit, particularly around Rythian. Also fits this trope very well IRL.

Bad Boss: Simon Lane jokes about her demanding tribute as Guild Leader from the members of their Guild Wars 2 guild.

Bait-and-Switch: Zoey's "Who's That Pokémon" skits at the beginning of her Pokémon series are almost never resolved the way you'd expect, often with existing mons in a deformed shape. The one time she didn't do this, everyone expected it.

Beware the Nice Ones: Zoey proves that while she may be a nice person, she can be one hell of an aggressive gamer (minus the attitude that usually comes with it, mind you) in Civilization V. She basically starts steamrolling people with no warning, later commenting that doing so makes her feel uncomfortable.

Beware the Silly Ones: In Minecraft as part of her persona. Also in Civ, where she becomes very dangerous despite her persona.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: In Tekkit she regularly has conversations with mushrooms and natters on about the complex politics and factions of mushroom society, but is also a fantastic decorator/designer and computer programmer.

Chastity Couple: Subverted. In contrast to Lewis and Hannah (who are no longer together), she and Fiona frequently make affectionate gestures towards one another, and numerous videos and streams have captured the sound of them kissing. Notably, the 2014 stream in which Zoey finally showed her face concluded with them smooching on-camera as a donation reward.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Her Cloud Cuckoolander tendencies mask almost surreal levels of competency, and she often adapts well to the games she plays. IRL, Zoey is acknowledged as being one of the best Civ V players in the Yogscast. She's also a good Pokémon player, and she has exhibited Improbable Aiming Skills in certain shooting-based games (for example, while playing Contagion with Fiona, she gets almost nothing but headshots despite professing to not be very good).

Curb-Stomp Battle: During her fight with Malva in Pokémon, she utterly destroyed her by sending out her Mega-Evolved Blastoise Bub, and fainting every opponent with Water Pulse- this was after her Special Attack stat was reduced. The other fights were not so easy.

Epic Fail: When she and Rythian are faced with a C4 in TTT, Rythian, as the detective, declares that he has a defuser and can save them both with no worry. Zoey pretty much ignores this, tries cutting a random wire and gets them both killed. The normally tolerant and patient (at least towards her) Rythian flips out.

And again in her third 2015 Christmas livestream, wherein she A) swore every time the Mystery Wheel landed on Bad Spin, and B) dropped the f-bomb during a speech about her mental health.

He Who Must Not Be Seen: Until 2014, she was the only Yogscast member to adamantly refuse to show her face, due to a bad combination of her intense anxiety and personal fears about others having control of her image. However, she eventually started uploading pictures, and made her first appearance on live video at the end of the year. Since then, her fear appears to have slightly softened.

The Heart: As one Youtube commenter put it, "Zoey saved Rythian from the darkness inside himself." She might as well be this for the Yogscast in general, as she loves giving pep talks to people who suffer from depression, mental issues, and the like, and letting everyone know how much she supports them.

Hidden Depths: Has been secretly creating a laboratory under Blackrock Castle and kept tabs on every person on the server, including Rythian. In general, for all her Nice Girl tendencies, she can be surprisingly cheeky, such as pulling a dirty move, then feigning innocence.

Kindhearted Cat Lover: Zoey loves cats, in particular Ziggy, who by all accounts was one of the nicest cats around. Sadly, Ziggy passed away in February 2015.

Self-Imposed Challenge: In Pokémon X and Y, Zoey chooses not to use Xerneas in the fight against Lysandre, which would actually make it startlingly easy. She does this because she feels Xerneas deserves some rest away from the ancient superweapon that it's been trapped in. She succeeds.

Straight Gay: Is a lesbian. You wouldn't have known had she not said so or done some videos with her girlfriend, particularly owing to the Tekkit series.

Troll: In spades, although she's a much nicer and less serious example than most. If there's a cooperative collaboration with her colleagues, chances are high that she will intentionally do something wrong repeatedly that creates more trouble for everyone, all while feigning ignorance and claiming to be helping in some extremely roundabout way. That is, if she isn't firmly in her other state of play.
